Mango & Bacon Salad w/ Mango Vinaigrette

I would like to thank Kim from Cook It Allergy Free for the inspiration for this salad. I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to have blogs like hers out there that cater to multiple food allergies! What a lucky day we live in to have all sorts of wonderful, idea inspiring resources out there to us. It helps you feel just a bit less isolated in your food allergy journey.

When I first saw her salad, it looked SO unusual, I just HAD to try it and see how it all married together. I absolutely love sweet and salty combinations, and this was too colorful not to work with!

Her original recipe used pineapple, and that is one of the fruits I need to forgo for awhile, but I thought mango would fill in nicely…and boy was I right!! I could eat this salad everyday, it is so scrumptious, and so beautiful to look at. I love to eat it for my lunch and make a pig of myself eating a whole bowl…it’s just so darn good! So even though it might sound a bit weird…just TRY it, and then see for yourself!
